July 9, 2010

Hotel Brunelleschi, located in Florence’s historic centre, is the perfect place to start every art itinerary to discover the town. The hotel is situated just in the heart of the pedestrian area of the historical centre creating a fascinating atmosphere with rare and impeccable beauty. From some of the hotel rooms directly overlooking Via de Calzaiuoli, you will enjoy a spectacular sight of the Brunelleschi Cathedral.

We are practically a stones-throw from the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the masterpiece of Brunelleschi, the architectural genius. What about visiting the temple of the art? it is just 5 minutes walking: the Uffizi Gallery (Galleria degli Uffizi) where you can admire all the Italian art. About 10 minutes in the opposite direction you will find the Gallery of the Academy (Galleria dell’Accademia), to fully enjoy the perfection of the David of Michelangelo.

What about visiting Pitti Palace and Boboli gardens (Giardini di Boboli)? You may walk over The Old Bridge (Ponte Vecchio), it will surely be longer but you will have the opportunity to walk through 500 year-old streets, telling history and stories, dwelling Renaissance masterpieces such as Vasari Corridor (Corridoio Vasariano) and Palazzo Vecchio (The Old Palace).
